PRICE OF DRUGS, PROSTITUTES ON THE RISE, BEAUMONT COPS SAY

The price of vice is going up along with gas and food.

Southeast Texas law enforcement officials said drug peddlers these days are charging more for less, and prostitutes are charging more for their services as well.

For Beaumont drug dealers, the price of doing business is higher here than the state average, according to the most recent numbers released by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
